OverviewAbout this sailing

This short session is a hands-on introduction to sailing on a small sailing dinghy. Participants head out on the water with an instructor, who handles the boat and explains how a dinghy moves with the wind. Because a dinghy is small and sits close to the water, participants feel every change in the wind and waves, which makes it a very direct way to experience sailing for the first time. No prior sailing experience is needed. The session lasts 45 minutes and is suited to anyone curious about sailing who wants to try it before committing to a longer course. Participants come away with a feel for how sailing works and a clearer idea of whether they would like to train further.
